This is a great indicator. I love it, helps me see the hammer without looking. . I am no programer, but if you could do the same with a Doji, and a spinning top + Hammer, that would make my day.
If you notice, when a market turns on a 5 min chart also a 15 min, you usually get a spinning top or doji, followed by a hammer, then the market turns., If you could make one signal with a group of 2 or more, that would be super.

Hi

This is a very useful tool, just been evaluating it. I notice that there is a new command terminal:alertEmail which would be really handy to add to indicators like this.

Can you give me some clues how this could be done?

thanks

For now this option is available only in beta version.
I advise you waited until the moment when this functionality is included in the commercial version.
